Group:SMART:Workbench SMART Teams

Welcome!
We hope you're excited to publicize your SMART Team research to the world by making a contribution to Proteopedia.

''All you need to do is follow this short series of instructions and you'll be well on your way to becoming famous (in a manner of speaking).

Ready?

Sign up
If you see on the top-right corner of your browser window, there's a good chance this is your first time on Proteopedia -- in order to contribute, you'll need to request an username. This won't take more than a minute or two; you will then receive an e-mail confirmation to activate your account. Once you click on the activation link in the e-mail, you will receive a temporary passcode, which you should enter this passcode on the login page. Once you've chosen a new passcode, you'll be redirected back to this page. If all goes "as planned", you should now see a new series of links in the top-right corner of your browser window -- something like this:, with your name as the first link.

Create a private page for your work
Now that you're logged in to Proteopedia, you will be able to create a new page where you can begin working on your SMART Team research article. The best way to do this is to make a private "Workbench" page, that is visible only to you (so you don't have to worry about anyone else seeing it before you're finished). Here's how:

Click on the link to your personal page
It's on the top-right, and should look like this:. You'll probably see the biography text that you provided when you signed up. It should look like this:



Let's proceed.

Edit your personal page
Click on the "edit this page" tab at top of your personal page (the third one from the left), and you'll be redirect to a page like this:

You'll see a large text-area where you will be able to add new content to your profile page.

Make a link to your Workbench
Under your biography, please copy & paste the following 4 characters into the text-area: * Now click on the bottom to save your changes -- you will see your new profile page, which should look something like this:

Great work! Now click on the "edit this page" link again... you'll see that some new text has taken the place of text that you copied (which is a good thing); this is special Wiki tag that encodes a link to a page. It should be something like: *Roni Gordon This should resemble your user name that appears at the top-right of the browser window.

Now, all you have to do is replace everything from the | character (the "vertical line") until the double square brackets with the following: /Workbench So that it now becomes something like: *User:Roni Gordon/Workbench

Once you've replaced these characters, click on the bottom to save your changes. Now, your profile page should include a red link to your Workbench page! It should look like:



Visit your newly-created Workbench
This is the really easy part -- just click on the red link from your profile that you just made.

Proteopedia will tell you that this page does not yet exist, but not to worry -- this is where your job begins!

Begin editing your Workbench page
It's show-time! Now you get to publish your work on Instructions on Proteopedia.

We have plenty of instructions available to help you: there's guide that will show you how to create Proteopedia content, as well as a series of video-based tutorials put together by Eran Hodis.

But perhaps the simplest way is simply to start off with an existing page, and modify it to your liking -- there's an example of one here which has pictures, interactive Jmol applets, and so on.

Copying an existing Proteopedia page to your empty Workbench
The easiest way to "copy" the Hoelzer_Sandbox page is simply to go to your newly-created Workbench page, click "edit this page", and then append the following string into the address bar on your browser: &preload=Hoelzer_Sandbox

So that instead of looking like this:

http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Roni_Gordon/Workbench&action=edit

It looks like this:

http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Roni_Gordon/Workbench&action=edit&preload=Hoelzer_Sandbox

Then press the "Enter" key -- it's that easy!!! You'll see the page reload and all of the wiki markup that encodes the page you wanted to copy will appear in the text-area. Of course, you can do the same thing with any other Proteopedia page that you want to mimic.

At this point, you can make any changes you want and then either "preview" your changes or "save" your work using the action buttons at the bottom of the editing interface.

Uploading images to your Workbench
Just a reminder that in order to keep your images private, you'll need to add the prefix

Workbench_

to the name of any image that you upload to Proteopedia.
